About a year ago I got a call from a woman who was looking for a dog walker. Since that's one of the things I do, I went to meet her and her Australian Cattle Dog, Harvey. It turned out that on top of owning the smartest dog I've ever met, Bonnie is also a very skilled pet photographer.
So for the past year I've been walking Harvey as needed and getting to know Bonnie and her husband Jason, who is in the Navy. Of course the US Navy doesn't like you to get too comfortable so now Bonnie, Jason and Harvey are moving to Hawaii at the end of the month for his next assignment.
Since Kathy's birthday is also at the end of the month I enlisted Bonnie to do a photo shoot with our three dogs, Zappa, Willow and Santana (aka-third dog). She was wonderfully patient and creative, and spent several hours with my three wild mutts, making them and my yard look much better than they really are. My biggest problem is to narrow down all the great photos she took to just a few for Kathy's present.
As I said, Harvey and family will be leaving shortly for other shores. Bonnie has been a supporter of my cartooning and asked if I could do a cartoon of Harvey before they left. Now, my goofy cartoon style is far simple to capture a dog as complex as Harvey, but I gave it a shot anyway, if for no other reason than as a thank you to Bonnie for all her hard work and photographic skill. It came out pretty good and since it's really the only cartooning I've done this week, I present it here as a fond farewell to Bonnie, Jason and Harvey. Good Luck, and God speed and Aloha.
